The Pace of Play suggestions below can help prevent slow play.
- Plan your shot while walking to your ball or while others are playing
- Line up your putt when others are putting and be ready to play when it is your turn
- Be ready to play when it is your turn
- Walk briskly between shots
- Walk directly to your golf ball; don't follow others unless assisting in a search
- If riding, take several clubs with you to your ball so you won't have to walk back to the cart
- Don't step off or measure yardage for every single golf shot. Develop an "eye" for distance
- Be efficient with pre-shot routine
- Take only one practice swing
- Play a provisional ball if you think the original might be lost outside a water hazard or out of bounds
- Leave your clubs on the side of the putting green towards the next tee.
- Exit putting green promptly after holing out
- Unless experience, play the standard tees, not the championship tees
